New smartphones coming down the pipeline will require having WiFi integrated. This is one reason the Tour is relaunching next year with WiFi built in. I made more sense to launch it now without it and add it later in a relaunch than to wait for it. But there have been rumors since before the Tour was released it would happen, nothing official but RIM isn't known for keeping things under wraps particularly well.
